It would be nice if you could make the screen run Android, and put a shim layer in between, so the proper touch events would be delivered to Android. If you did that you'd have access to the full Android ecosystem, and you wouldn't have to make your own widgets.

That's a great idea ! Haven't thought of that, the only obstacles would be to find the proper gestures for tap/double tap and things like that, hm.

Maybe "Close fist" once for tap and twice for double tap. Close fist for more that a few ms to simulate a tap and hold.
